big al is arguably the most complete offensive center in the league right now. he's just pathetic defensively. i suppose it doesn't matter because the bobcats are already garbage on defense anyway. i can't imagine him making them a contender but he's immediately the best player on that team

Haha just to be clear, I said contender for the playoffs, not a title contender. For a team that has been as consistently horrible as the Bobcats, that's a pretty good start. Let's remember that before they landed Randolph and started to add good pieces around him the Grizz were pretty awful also (not that I have any faith in Jordan adding the good pieces around him).

McGrady wasn't just a scorer. He was a solid defender and had a bunch of seasons with 6+ rebounds a game and 5+ assists, both of those are good numbers for a SF. He got to the line enough to make up for the 43% shooting.

Really wish McGrady would have stayed with Vince in Toronto. They could have accomplished a lot with that duo. He was a *****, though, and wanted to be the #1 guy. Spent the rest of his career complaining that he didn't have any help on his teams.

In 02-03 he had a 30 PER, averaged 32/6.5/5.5 and the Magic's leaders in minutes after McGrady were: Pat Garrity, Darrell Armstrong, Mike Miller, Jacque Vaughn and Shawn Kemp. A person named Jeryl Sasser even played over 1000 minutes for them that year. He had absolute **** on those Magic teams.

That was an era where every player wanted to be the next Michael Jordan. They wanted to be the #1 and all of the credit. Today's NBA is SO different.

A player like Tracy McGrady leaving Vince Carter of his own free will would never happen today.

Darrell Armstrong and Gordan Giricek were awesome, plus Grant Hill played some and Drew Gooden was good in his time there.
